The Australian economy if it wasn't for the demand for our commodities from China would have gone into a recession like the rest of the Western world had. Not as bad as the USA experienced but still a recession would have occurred.
I disagree on "we cant do anything about global warming" line.
Schmuck!! I didn't say anything like that!! I said MAYBE!!!

You really do not have any idea what you are talking about do you??
"Non-green emitting energy" is preferable?? WTF??
Better Urban planning?? And you live in Sydney??
Green house gas emissions will be greatly reduced IF one reduces the total world population..is this what you are advocating?? Yay! *sarcasm ... maybe we can just sink all the economic refugee boats with the incumbent "asylum seekers" and this will help the overall global warming hot spots on the planet??
Non-sense...you are just sprouting greenie fascist nonsense...go away and really THINK about it!!
We had a chance to really make a difference with the Home -solar-panel- back to grid supplement and the federal govt scrapped it this year!! This is your 'greenies" in action buddy! Worthless!!
The "Greens" are fantastic in opposition but are just plain idealistic imbeciles when given a whiff of power..they are no better than the other two major parties.
